‘Selling animal feeding troughs keeps me fed,’ Boniface Macharia

For the past one year, Boniface Macharia has been eking a living by turning old tyres into flower pots and animal feeding troughs.

“Most dairy farmers use buckets to give water to their cows. However, once the animal kicks or steps on the bucket, it breaks and can no longer be used,” says Macharia, who worked as a car mechanic for many years.
